Participating in therapy is an investment in yourself. It is an active and creative collaboration between client and therapist. I strive to create a supportive and safe environment where clients can feel encouraged to work towards growth and healing. I draw from different theoretical approaches to best meet the unique needs of each client. My clients say they feel understood, inspired, and hopeful when working with me.

I offer therapeutic services for both groups and individuals. I believe in the innate health of human nature and strive to accentuate that health through Equine Therapy, Play Therapy and Wilderness Therapy. I specialize in working with children and have successfully worked with issues of adoption, anger management, attachment, grief, physical and sexual abuse, PTSD and trauma. Please reference my website at www.natureoftherapy.com, for more information regarding me and my services.

As an experiential and mindfulness-based psychotherapist, I am passionate about helping clients grow. Through collaboration, we can get you unstuck. I believe healing comes about through a combination of empathy, authentic relationship, vulnerability, new insights, and practice.

I leverage experiential techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy, and humor to help clients with transformation. My areas of particular interest and specialization include working with men's issues, shame, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief and loss issues, and self-actualization.

My educational journey has taken me from Lincoln, Nebraska where I received a Bachelors Degree in Education and Exercise Science, to Minneapolis, Minnesota and Northwestern College of Chiropractic where I received my Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. Along the way I also served in places like India and Peru. Currently I'm the founder and owner of BioSoul Integration Center in Louisville, Colorado, previously known as Network Life Center.

I'm proud to say that I've been practicing since 2002. That's nearly two decades that I've been supporting people here in the Boulder / Louisville area! Over the course of that time I've worked intimately with nearly three thousand people and helped them navigate the ups and downs of their healing journeys. I've worked with babies who were hours old, as well as those in their nineties, and everyone in between.

Though I've helped this wide range of folks, those who seem to be most drawn to my work tend to be those who have felt the strong calling to do the work of leaning into their growth and evolution as human beings. Often these people are practitioners themselves of some sort, whether professionally or otherwise. They may be yoga teachers, meditators, acupuncturists, chiropractors, energy workers, shamanic practitioners, healers, spiritual seekers and others and they feel called to give their gifts and share what they've learned with others.

I believe that nothing in Life is a mistake. I believe that Life is inherently intelligent. Therefore, I believe that every experience is Life trying to get our attention because there's something in every experience that is important for our growth and evolution as human beings--that is, souls in a physical body. It's through experience that Life is trying to get us to claim more of who we are as souls and give more of our soul's gifts here, on this planet, in these physical bodies and in this physical existence, because the planet and everyone on it needs what we have to offer and needs the unique flavor that each of us brings to the table.

Some of the experiences that are the loudest, and yet are experiences that we expend the most energy trying to push away, are painful experiences. Over the course of those sixteen years I've discovered something vital to our physical, mental/emotional and spiritual health and well-being: the solution to our problems can be found in the pain and the painful parts of life.

When we turn towards our pain it becomes a portal that leads to a place in us where the illusion of separateness collapses and the parts of our bodies and souls that have been disconnected can be reunited. In this place the potential energy that was bound up in the pain and the polarity in our bodies and lives is transformed into wisdom that releases our bodies, informs our lives and compels us to give our gifts.
